Re: What R U Reading?

Yeah -- though it was a fin, not a mohawk.

Used to be a great comic book -- lots of violence, a HUGE assortment of characters, good writing, but I lost track of the series when I moved to Canada back in late '00, somewhere around issue 75. But I just skimmed through issues 76-132 and man, the quality of that book went WAY downhill. The artwork's sloppy and inconsistent and the storytelling is repetitive and hackneyed.

Still, though. The first 40-50 issues of that book was a lot of fun. It was one of the better Image comics of its time.

Got a copy of it here just waiting to be watched. Gonna definitely give it a view after I finish the book this time, I have high expectations, Cronenberg is easily one of my favorite directors and if he can pull off a decent adaptation with Naked Lunch, I'm sure he can do this novel justice.

That's awesome, man. I'm more excited to see A Dangerous Method then any other upcoming movie. Oh, and I watched Eastern Promises for the first time last week, and was blown away, one of the best films I've seen in a long time.

I am reading "The Singularity is Near"....... Highly recommended. If Philip K Dick had been an actual scientist this is probably the book he would have written. A terrifying vision of science fact... both wonderful to think about and scary to consider how real this prediction of our genesis as a species will be.

Re: What R U Reading?

Currently reading for the 2nd time 'The Living Dead', edited by John Joseph Adams. A compilation of Zombie short stories. My favorite the first time I read through was 'Stockhold Syndrom'. So far that is my favorite again. They put out a part two to this book that I really want to pick up.
